The Queen's Blade Prequel I - Conash: Dead Son - Plot & Excerpts
A buxom serving girl winked at Conash while she cleared the neighbouring table, and he scowled at her. The girl blanched and hurried away. A hunched, brown-haired man with a servile manner and rat-trap mouth approached their table and sat opposite, his eyes furtive. Talon nodded at him. “Evening, Darnish.” “Elder.” Darnish eyed Conash. “Is this the lad?” “Yes.” “He looks young.” “He's old enough.” Darnish continued to study the youth. “He's small, too. The target I've got for you is a big man, a drover.” “He'll manage. What's the name and address?” “Broman. He lives in the eighth district slums, Potpear Lane, number eleven. His familiar's a bull. It stays in a paddock up on the commons.” Talon nodded, and Darnish dropped two silvers on the table, rose and left. Conash frowned at his back before turning to his mentor. “He's the client?” “No, he's a broker. Apprentice kills are always made through a broker. That way, if you botch it and get caught, you don't know the name of the client.
